Bring Democracy Back to the Food System!
Challenge the Corporate Control of our Food System! Right now just a handful of companies like Monsanto, Cargill, Tyson and Smithfield influence most of the food we eat. Decades of bad farm policy and unchecked corporate mergers have left massive agribusiness giants with too much power over the food system. This is bad news for both farmers and consumers. Now, after years of government looking the other way, some in the Department of Justice seem to realize there's a problem. Can you sign our petition and tell them that it's time to finally take on the monopolies in our food system? I am concerned about the lack of competition in our food system, which impacts not only farmers and ranchers, but also consumers. With fewer players involved at every step in the food chain, consumers pay more while farmers get paid less. I urge the Department of Justice to thoroughly examine who's controlling the food system and take immediate actions to address unfair practices. |
